YOUR COMPREHENSIVE
LAB FOR QUANTIFYING
CELLULOSIC
ETHANOL FROM
CORN KERNAL FIBER
We Are Soliton
We stand for quality, integrity, and defensibility in lab analysis and data all the while bringing innovation and the best value in the industry.
We employ all available analytical methods for corn kernel fiber conversion pathways.
- NREL approved by EPA for RFS D3 RINs
- ASTM approved by EPA for RFS D3 RINs
- Our Proprietary Analytical Methods have been approved by CARB for LCFS and provide an unrivaled level of accuracy and precision.
We are an ISO 17025 Accredited Laboratory and a member of ASTM International.
Located in the Midwest and the heart of the corn belt, we understand the value of hard work, diligence, and integrity. It is our hope that that translates to a partnership beyond just a business transaction.
Our cost structure is fair and equitable; keeping the lion’s share of the value in our customers’ hands—where it belongs.
We have a simple, locked-in fee structure that is not tied to the value of your product or the RIN/CI credit values—meaning, you the customer get all the upside—like it should be.
